A Wedding Video is not an “Off The Shelf” product where they are all the same, in short you get what you pay for. Isn’t it logical? Would you put your best efforts into something that you were paid a minimal fee for? No! If we were to provide this service as a low budget service we would be unable to give your project proper attention purely as it would not be viable for us to spend the time necessary to make it something really special and memorable. With this in mind we would only be able to produce an  “Acceptable” Wedding Video. We don’t do Acceptable, we only do “Outstanding”. This comes from years of consistent attention to detail and the never ending search for methods of improving our service to our clients. We take a lot of pride in our work our clients are always presented with a product that exceeds their own expectations.

Premium Quality Equipment
All Productions are filmed in HDV quality and edited using Final Cut Studio 2 so no shortcuts here. To offer this level of  Wedding Video Service you need to have the right gear. It’s a constant strive for improvement and we regularly update our equipment, quality work cannot be achieved on a shoe string budget.

Our Filming Process
To have a great product you must have great footage, once on site we quickly assess the surroundings to determine how we are to approach this segment of the day. There are methods we employ for each segment as in most cases there is not a lot of difference between the style of wedding being filmed. This gives us the ability to not only know how to film each segment but where to film it from. We get amongst it, when there is activity we film from the best possible angle without being in the way.

In a nutshell there are 3 different methods of filming:

1: Tripod Mounted
We use a tripod for shots that demand rock steady footage. Close-ups of trinkets and flowers during the bridal prep, the ceremony, the speeches and Wedding Cake.

2: Fly Cam
If you’ve ever seen footage where the camera is in motion and the shot is a smooth flowing shot then chances are they are using a Fly-Cam or Steady-Cam. This is used during the photo shoot where there is plenty of room outdoors to move around the bridal party. If we are doing a multi camera shoot then we may consider it during the ceremony & reception as well.

3: Mono Pod
This method is used for shots that require portability in tight spaces. We prefer to avoid doing purely hand held shots due to the unavoidable camera shake that occurs. A mono pod is a great alternative giving much more stability as well as the ability to raise the camera above our heads where necessary, especially during Greek weddings where we film from inside the dancing circle.

Audio Capture
A wireless microphone is worn by the groom to pick up the audio during the ceremony, don’t worry guys, there after you can say what you like, we won’t hear you. A Gun mic is used on the Camera. During the reception we try to link direct with the in-house audio system to capture a direct feed from the DJ’s desk.

Un-Obtrusive Capture
We let you enjoy your day after all its not about us, its about you. In most cases the Bride & Groom don’t even notice us.

Examples of all the above mentioned shots can be found on our Wedding Video Gallery and you can also feel free to contact us for a demonstration DVD.

Overall we constantly monitor how each section could be filmed and what is the best method for this.

Post Production
We spend the time to meticulously edit and produce every aspect of the finished product. Our Editing Process demands complete attention to detail. I often state that this is where the work begins. As an observation of past projects we expect an average Wedding Video to take about 4 – 5 hours for every hour of camera time booked. Therefore if booking an 8 hour package we anticipate 40 Hours of post production (editing) to be required to complete the job. So with all things considered, if you are looking for a Video on a shoe string budget, maybe we are not for you. What we are is very passionate about what we do and we always strive to make sure each project will not only be treasured today but in many years to come. We edit in a way that brings a classic look and feel without cheesy editing.

What You See..
Our Online Gallery contains real projects as they were presented to our couples. Once the project is signed off all material is exported to DVD and for the web so be rest assured we are not presenting you with something inferior than what is presented online. For a more comprehensive example feel free to request a Sample DVD via our Contact Page.

Prices
Once you have read this you are probably thinking that we are going to be expensive, well you’ll be pleasantly surprised that we have plenty of Quality Packages from under $2,000. We are constantly monitoring our prices and time allocated to each project, we strive to offer the best possible service at the best possible price.
